{"product_id":"networks-of-construction-ekaterina-nozhova-9783777425399","title":"Networks of Construction: Vladimir Shukhov","description":"For the sheer quantity and quality of his inventions, scientist and structural engineer Vladimir Shukhov (1853-1939) is sometimes referred to as the \"Russian Thomas Edison.\" Among his pioneering contributions are a number of innovations related to the oil industry, including the design and construction of the first Russian pipeline and the world's first industrial plant for oil cracking. His groundbreaking structural works include the cable-supported hanging roof and the hyperboloid lattice tower epitomized by the Shukhov Tower in Moscow, which bears his name. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNetworks of Construction\u003c\/i\u003e collects Shukhov's trailblazing achievements from the turn of the twentieth century, exploring his career and complicated creative process. Each of Shukhov's projects, the book shows, was realized through an elaborate process beginning with an intense period of planning to account for the interconnections among a wide range of factors, from the technical background of the construction workers to technology transfer, the nomenclature of steel grades, and the scientification of construction knowledge. Ekaterina Nozhova and Uta Hassler of the Institute of Historic Building Research and Conservation at ETH Zurich have painstakingly reconstructed Shukhov's process through a wealth of drawings, photographs, and documents. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ekaterina Nozhova\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3777425397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777425399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.40h x 8.60w x 1.60d","brand":"Ekaterina Nozhova","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448038371583,"sku":"9783777425399","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d09bac45-0c9e-4af5-b7cd-9895faf2074b.jpg?v=1777236477","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/networks-of-construction-ekaterina-nozhova-9783777425399","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
